PROPER GROUNDING

Grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the

risk of electric shock.

To prevent electrical hazards, have a

qualified electrician ensure that the line is

properly wired.

This machine is for use on a normal 110

volts circuit. Make sure that the machine is

connected to an outlet having the same

configuration as the plug. If an adaptor

plug is used, it must be attached to the

metal screw of the receptacle.

Figure-1 110-Volts Outlet for CT167

It is strongly recommended not to use

extension cords with your CT167. Always

try to position your machine close to the

power source so that you do not need to

use extension cords.

If it necessary to use an extension cord,

make sure the extension cord does not

exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is 14-

gauge to prevent motor damage. Check for

heat build up periodically.

Your CT167 should be wired with a 3-

prongs plug fitting a 3 prong grounded

receptacles as shown in figure-1. Do not

remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-

pronged outlet. Always check with a

qualified electrician if you are in doubt.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the outlet is properly grounded.

UNPACKING

The machine is properly packaged and

shipped completely in a carton for safe

transportation. When unpacking, carefully

inspect the carton and ensure that nothing

has been damaged during transit. Open it

and check that the machine and the parts

are in good condition.

ASSEMBLY

To assemble your CT167 Wall Mount Dust

Collector, follow the instructions given

below.

Align the holes on the motor bracket with

the holes on the motor base and attach the

motor bracket to the motor base using four

bolts provided as shown in figure-1.

Figure-1 Attaching motor bracket to the

motor base

Take the wall mounting bracket and use it

as a template on the wall. Mark the

mounting the holes with a pen and make

sure the mounting bracket is 44” (minimum)

from the floor and 6” (minimum) away from

the wall so that the motor have enough air

cooling space.

Figure-2 Installing the wall mounting

bracket

If you are installing the wall mounting

bracket on a concrete or masonry wall, use

lag screws with lag shield or anchor studs.

If you are mounting the mounting bracket to

a framed wall, the bracket must be attached

to a support board that is wide enough to

be mounted on two wall studs and having

the capacity of holding the dust collector

with collection bag full of dust. Secure the

support board to the wall studs, using lag

screws. See figure-3.

Figure-3 Installing wall mounting bracket on

a support board on the wall studs

Once the mounting bracket is installed on

the wall, lift the dust collector up and hang it

on the bracket.

Install the adhesive foam strip (provided) on

the dust collector outlet port as shown in

figure-4.

TEST RUN

Now that you have assembled your

machine completely, it is time for a test run

to make sure that the machine works

properly and is ready for operation.

All the tools and objects used for

assembling the machine should be

removed and cleared away during the test

run. Double check and ensure that the wall

mounting bracket is secured properly to the

wall.

Plug the cord to the power outlet and turn

the dust collector ON. See if the dust

collector operates correctly.

During the test run if there is any unusual

noise coming from the machine or the

machine vibrates excessively, shut off the

machine immediately and disconnect the

cord from the power source. Check all the

parts you have assembled once again and

investigate to find out the problem.

If the dust collector operates correctly, turn

the machine OFF and remove the safety

key on the switch.

Once the safety key is removed, turn the

switch ON.

The machine should not run with the safety

key removed.

OPERATION

CT167 wall mount dust collector is

designed to be used with one machine at a

time.

Operating this dust collector is simple and

easy. Position the machine close to the

dust collector, making sure that it is not

interfering with each other.

Connect a hose with one end to the dust

collector inlet and the other end to the

machine outlet. Secure both ends using

hose clamps.

MAINTENANCE

During the life of your machine, you will

need to practice some regular maintenance

to keep your saw in peak performance

condition.

Check the dust collector daily for loose

mounting bolts/screws, damaged wires,

worn switch, full collection bag and any

other unsafe condition.

LUBRICATION

The shaper has sealed lubricated bearings

in the motor housing and arbour assembly

and do not require any lubrication.

sure that you have read and understood

the manual and you are familiar with the

functions and safety features on this

machine. Failure to do so may cause

the cord is disconnected from the power

source before servicing and

removing/replacing any components on

the machine.

IMPELLER

use after a period of time. Check the

impeller once a month to ensure that

impeller screws are tight, securing the

impeller on the shaft.

Make sure the machine is turned off and

the cord is disconnected from the power

source.

Access the impeller screws through the

inlet cover on the machine and tighten to

secure the impeller on the shaft.

MACHINE STORAGE

disconnect the cord from the power source

and store the machine in a dry place. Do

not expose the machine to rain. Make sure

to keep the cord away from potential

damage sources such as; sharp objects,

chemicals, heat sources and water.

EMPTYING COLLECTION

must be checked and emptied regularly.

clear window and a bottom zip. The clear

window allows operator to see the amount

of dust in the bag and the bottom zip makes

bag-emptying easy.
